Default Re: Straddling before the cards are dealt

I see these as being different. The player posting in the CO does not impact the UTG player's ability to straddle.

Sitting three seats to the left of the button does not bestow upon a player the God given right to straddle.
If a player can take back his big blind (with no straddle) before the cards are dealt, a straddle should not change anything.

I know. A player who doesn't like losing his big blind to a straddler is just a nit. If you let him take his blind out, there will be an argument and the game will grind to a halt. Less money for the house and the dealer.
